Marley Park in Surprise, AZ

There's that old expression a 'storm in a teacup' and if there ever was something that may come as a surprise, Marley Park in Surprise is making serious waves in that respect. If it's not the fastest-growing community that brings back tree-lined streets and community parks, Marley Park has something to offer for traditional and modern families. But there is one thing that Marley Park keeps a well-guarded secret, and that's what you're going to find out about this amazing community within Surprise, Arizona.

What's Marley Park all about?

Marley park

Marley Park is all about family, community, and bridging the gap everywhere. Yet, for most of us who are only wishing to live the American Dream, Marley Park is counting on its community to bring back a sense of normality in this crazy mixed-up world. Just as Walt Disney envisioned a city of the future, most people don't realize that EPCOT wasn't originally intended to be just a theme park. In fact, the option to make a dynamic family-oriented city looks very familiar to the design of Marley Park.

And instead of a sprawling city work center, Marley Park puts family first with their main park nearly at the center of town. Not to try to oversell this little-known gem of Surprise, that line from the original Poltergeist movie: 'the grass is greener on every side' seems to be a fitting message of what Marley Park is all about. But you won't find any ancient Indian burial grounds here, and obviously, no houses built on abandoned graveyards...

A short history of Marley Park

Marley Park is (just under) 950 acres but what they have packed into this space would have made Uncle Walt mighty proud. There are 1,820 residential homes with 20 parks scattered around the various themed and tree-lined communities. Back when the first initial homes were completed in 2006, an average 4-bedroom home was selling for just $493K. But since then, the community has quickly filled up with very few homes that are still up for grabs.

It's a vision of the future that has plenty of appeal for those who want to raise a family and have schools nearby. Perhaps the most impressive part about Marley Park is how it's designed to be self-contained. As the community itself cannot grow any larger than the initial 950 acres that it currently occupies, many features around Marley Park are making this community even more appealing.

What makes Marley Park so different?

Amenities

One of the highlights that are for every resident of this amazing community is its signature clubhouse. And who wouldn't be thrilled to have a central meeting place where parents and neighbors can gather for any event from birthdays to anniversaries. Aptly titled the Heritage Club, it offers a 6,000-square-foot facility that covers nearly 3 acres at the center of town. Inside there is a large catering kitchen, conference room, meeting spaces, and a wide open lawn for outdoor events!

Three separate pool areas include the Heritage pool house with 2 pools and the Willow Swim Park. There is also a mobile Block Party Trailer that has everything neighbors need to provide a big party for each other. This is one amenity that has a strong focus on bringing neighbors together

When neighbors aren't using the Heritage Club or the Block Party trailer, there are further bonuses that are just a stone's throw away by car. Surprise obviously features great family-centered amenities including playing fields, sports centers, and shopping outlets.
